Pylon Signs

Pylon signs are sometimes referred to as highway signs or road signs, because they are often placed alongside roads and tower above other landmarks. The height and size of pylon signs is key in acquiring the attention of the passerby. While most pylon signs are merely lit boxes on a metal pole, intricately designed pylon signs can become a discerning feature that gains attention and helps your business make an impact on all who see your signage.

As mentioned above, pylon signs are freestanding signs that may be one-side or double-sided, have support from either single or double poles, and are comprised of steel or aluminum. The face, where the sign is printed can be either rigid or flexible. Moreover, pylon signs can have illumination with fluorescent or LED light bulbs, but that feature is often up to the discretion of the owner.

There are different types of pylon signs that can be manufactured. The options you have include:

Single-pole pylons

The classic pylon design makes a statement. Single-pole mounted pylon signs will standout among high rise buildings and congestion. These usually stand around 8-feet high and can stretch as wide as 100-feet.

Twin-pole pylons

Double poles increase the rigidity and resilience of the sign.

Pylon signs w/ Pole Covers

If you don’t want your elegant sign standing upon a metal pole, you can have structural supports created to surround the pole. There are hundreds of designs that can be implemented, so be sure to talk to the designers about what can be done.

Customized lightbox pylon signs – similar to monument signs, this kind of pylon sign is robust and monolithic. You find them often near the entrance/exit to sprawling shopping centers or malls and feature the various names and logos of tenant businesses.

Monument signs are often seen announcing industrial parks, school campuses, shopping malls, historic attractions, houses of worship, and other multi-tenant properties. Monument signs are more effective than other signage options that are smaller because they offer high visibility and customizable design elements.

Monument signs are often built form a mixture of materials, like brick, metal (such as raised metal letters), stone, concrete, and so on. In recent developments, some signs even use a faux stone that is lighter and comprised of urethane foam. This allows for sign manufacturers to do the work without needing to subcontract a mason to deal with the stone.

However, the design options are infinite. As long as you have some inspiration and a professional designer, like someone from our LSI Graphics teams, you can make the monument sign of your dreams a reality.

Size, shape, color, durability, and overall design are yours to select. Monument signs never need to be cookie-cutter. Here is a list of the customizable sections of monument signs:

· Colors

· Finishes on letters – brush silver, gold, bronze, brass, etc.

· Custom hole placement

· Corners – sharp angles or rounded

· Trim caps

· Reflective elements

· Illuminated signs

· Face Shape
